The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Going after Gonzales: Accused of lying to Congress, the embattled attorney
general now faces calls for impeachment from House Democrats, led by Rep. Jay
Inslee (D-WA). Tonight, Congressman Inslee plays Hardball.
Plus, earlier today NBC's Brian Williams sat down for an exclusive interview
with new British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. We'll take a look at what Brown
had to say about President Bush and Iraq. Catch the full sit-down tonight on
NBC's Nightly News.
For more on Gonzales, we'll talk with Judiciary Committee member Rep. Chris
Cannon (R-UT), who says the attorney general should stay. Then, more scandal
in the city: Monday, the FBI and the IRS raided the house of Alaska Sen. Ted
Stevens, the longest-serving Republican senator in history. Facing a
investigation into his relationship with an energy company, Stevens today
fielded demands for his resignation. Melanie Sloan, executive director of
CREW, is one of the voices calling for Stevens to step down. We'll hear from
her tonight.
And super spouses: Which candidate has the edge when it comes to their
political partner? That's tonight's Hardball Debate between radio talk show
host Melanie Morgan and Democratic consultant Jenny Backus.
Then, don't miss a rowdy roundtable with our Hardball Panel: NBC News political
director Chuck Todd, Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times, and New York Times
reporter Mark Leibovich will be here to hash out all the day's political news
and the hot topics you'll be talking about around the water cooler, including
Bill Clinton's new role as first moderator, the Edwards' Wendy's anniversary,
talk of Thompson losing steam and more.
Speaking of the NYT, today NBC News president Steve Capus made that exciting
announcement that NBC News/MSNBC, MSNBC.com, and The New York Times are teaming
up to cover Decision 2008. That means you have even more reasons to log on to
